1011030 - Project Editor: Add rtl and keyboard shortcut support to project tree

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian Grinstead [:bgrins]]

We could either use the new tree widget (bug 993014), use a xul tree, or extend the existing tree to support RTL and keyboard shortcuts.

Paul, do you think this is still a blocker for WebIDE?  It seems like a semi-large project, and I am not convinced we must do it right now.

Paul and I discussed this today, and while we'd like to do this "soon", it's not a blocker for enabling WebIDE.

Next step is do to initial investigation to see if TreeWidget (as used in storage inspector), AbstractTreeItem (as used in the tree-view.js file for the profiler), or xul tree would be most appropriate for this.  Off the top of my head, here are the main things we need besides rtl and keyboard support that we need:

1) Custom styles for different file types
2) Ability to have custom content inside of the tree item (in the case of the top level project header that contains the validation tooltip and whatnot).  This could possibly be sidestepped by reorganizing the tree to *not* include this item, though that will require a number of changes to how the project editor works.
3) Ability to have an item in the tree that contains a textbox for renaming files / adding new files.
4) Custom ordering of items (put folders before files in order)

Projecteditor was removed from the tree in bug 1361311.
